February 3, 200521 yr Tim Hudson - S - Braves Tim Hudson, who is eligible for free agency after the season, is sticking to a March 1 deadline for having a contract extension worked out. Braves GM John Schuerholz said the deadline isn't a problem because, ''It shouldn't take any more time than that to either decide we can or can't [re-sign him].'' Hudson figures to be able to command at least $13 million-$14 million per year as a free agent, so four years and $48 million is probably the least Atlanta can offer and still have a shot at signing him. For what it's worth, Chipper Jones said yesterday that he'd be willing to defer money to help the team out. Feb. 3 - 5:30 am et :pullhair
February 3, 200521 yr I hope he hits the FA market, because if he does there's an excellent chance he'll end up a Mets with his ties to Rick Peterson.

Hudson and Peterson have a very close bond, one that could draw him to Shea.

February 3, 200521 yr Hudson is going to win the Cy Young this season so they should lock him up asap.
